Accuracy of criticality calculations made using current nuclear data libraries for MOX fuelled fast critical assemblies

摘要

Criticality calculations have been made for a set of ten mixed plutonium-uranium oxide (MOX) fuelled fast critical assemblies using the current nuclear data libraries, JEFF-3.1, JEFF-3.1.1, JENDL-3.3 and ENDF/B-VI1.0. The results obtained using the different libraries are compared and conclusions drawn concerning the accuracy of criticality calculations made for MOX fuelled fast reactors.
